[Verse 1] I practiced your goodbye ‘til the mirror finally cried Traced your name on the window Watched it vanish as it dried I kept saving you a chair Kept a place you’d never take Built a kingdom out of waiting Now I’m sweeping up the ache [Chorus] I’m letting go of hope you’ll love me back Letting go of hope you’ll turn around Every dream I stitched with your small smile I am pulling every fragile thread out now I’m letting go of hope you’ll love me back Letting go Though it’s the only heart I had I’m letting go of hope you’ll love me back Letting go of what was all I ever asked [Verse 2] You’re a headline from last year That my heart still wants to read Every sentence burned my fingers Still I folded it with need I kept lighting little candles For a future you won’t see Now the wax is on my hands And it’s finally burning me [Chorus] I’m letting go of hope you’ll love me back Letting go of hope you’ll say my name Every quiet plan that wore your face I am laying in an unmarked Honest grave I’m letting go of hope you’ll love me back Letting go Though it’s the only map I had I’m letting go of hope you’ll love me back Letting go of how you never needed that [Bridge] This is what it costs to stay This is what it costs to leave An empty room that knows your laugh And a body that can’t breathe So I whisper to the silence What I never said to you “I release you from my future Though it wrecks my present too” [Chorus] I’m letting go of hope you’ll love me back Letting go of hope you’ll ever see All the years I broke in halves Just to leave the bigger piece for you Not me I’m letting go of hope you’ll love me back Letting go Though it’s the last light that I had I’m letting go of hope you’ll love me back Letting go And it is all that I have left
